Something weird here, just found out my printer can act as a generator aswell.
No cables hooked up, moving a steppermotor lights up the ulticontroller display and thermo prints led's. Something wrong with the electronics, or/and can you damage them when moving the steppermotors by hand?
Hi
There's nothing wrong with your printer, that's normal. I blew a stepper driver once after I had been vigorously moving the hot end by hand. I'm fairly sure this caused it. So I don't move mine around by hand too quick anymore.
It's normal. I move my head around all the time but I also don't move it fast and now I will know to not do it too much - give the stepper driver a few seconds to cool down.
I'm excited because I've personally produced this showcase event, so if you are curious what else I'm up to nowadays, come check it out and say hi in the chat! It would mean a lot!
